(Just Beat the Game - ABSOLUTE CINEMA / 10 )

50 retro-esque games of all genres. Perfect for the steam deck for stop and go gaming.

As a smooth brained Apeman, I enjoyed this game even when I was getting obliterated by all the random crap on my screen. That said, hitboxes can be slighty jank at some times, which will result you getting hit. It is still a great game that rivals and at times exceeds the difficulty of Sekiro.

Memes aside, this game is a fun puzzle adventure game. It is akin to something like FEZ and Outer Wilds. As expected it is a great SteamDeck game to play in bed.

Since Larian based this game on DnD 5e, it is inherently way more simplistic than previous versions of DnD and similar series like Pathfinder, but this game shines in its overall presentation instead of number crunching gameplay.

In Larian fashion, the game does have a weaker Act 3 than the previous acts, but Act 3 does feature some of the more epic encounters in the game. Overall a must play for you high fantasy nerds.

Dog water Performance with no native FOV slider / DLSS.
One of the weakest narrative hooks of any of the Bethesda games.
Environmental detail is decent, but the jarring NPC character models and animation pull you out of any immersion.

Got this free with my 7800x3d and hilariously as a sponsored AMD title it gets out performed by the 13th gen intel cpus. LOL
If you've played a Bethesda game in the past decade, you've already pretty much played 80% of this game.

A game that has more heart and soul than most 70$ AAA games.

It's not a game for everybody, but anyone interested in a non hand holding experience with an emphasis on exploration/problem solving should check this game out.

When indie devs go full corpo.
